HealthTap: Healthtap does not offer the kind of in-person therapeutic work you're talking about here (even though in our local communities we might be glad to help you). We can answer brief questions here, but not serve as your treating psychologist, psychiatrist, other physician via healthtap. Please seek a psychologist or psychiatrist who does talk therapy in your own community. Best wishes.

Avoiding something: If you are suffering from severe enough anxiety or depression to see your doctor and take medication, then there is good reason to see a psychologist for ongoing psychotherapy. Your doctor has given you good advice. "talking to someone here" is not a substitute for psychotherapy. It sounds to me like you are trying to avoid something. The relevant questions are what that is and why.
